Hi Guys! My name is Pamela and I run the website A Little Glitter. I blog about all types of things (fashion, beauty, motherhood, events, decor and lately working out/health). I would love for you to stop on over and visit sometime.

I've been skinny fat my whole life. I've never had to work out or watch what I ate and I've always stayed pretty thin. Before you start to hate me, let me just say that this year that behavior is finally starting to catch up with me. My bad cholesterol is too high, I have no muscle tone and I am starting to gain weight. Also, I see all these skinny bitches on the internet with these cute little butts and muscly bodies and I want that, too! So, I signed up for the gym and I am going about three times a week. That being said, I am not a work out person. I know people that wake up and CANT WAIT to go to the gym. I think about throwing myself down the stairs so that I can get out of it. It is not effortless for me to attend. I am going to share with you some of the ways that I motivate myself to go and enjoy my time there.

1. Cute sneakers. I feel better about myself when I look better. I am the ugliest workout person ever. I do not glisten. I SWEAT. Also, my face turns beet red. I cant control those things but I can wear some cute sneakers...so I do. Here are some that I am obsessed with:

2. Fabulous workout clothes. Same idea as number one. I love tanks with funny sayings on them like this one:

(It also doesn't hurt that it matches my dream sneakers pretty well!)

3. Music. If I forget my headphones I am pretty much over it. I may as well go home. I wont work as hard or for as long. I am totally unable to motivate. My all-time favorite cardio song is Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi. It has a great beat and I find myself running faster when I'm listening to it.

4. Putting classes in my planner. I am a list maker. I refer to my planner every day. If I have a pilates or barre class written down on my list in there I want to check it off.

5. Hot Girls. If all else fails, I make myself look at pictures of toned up, muscly girls on Pinterest for at least five minutes. It motivates me to work hard so I can look like them and I remember that I am not going to get a cute butt by sitting on it. I have to get up and head out in order to achieve that derriere.
